Torn:
Every 26,000 years the earth experiences a magnetic reversal or pole shift. These reversals are always accompanied by disasters of catastrophic proportions. They also coincide with two other events: an ice age and species extinction. We are, at this time, 50,000 years overdue.

A college professor and part time country singer, Darius worried only about teaching and playing his guitar until the day he is attacked by cockroaches and is placed into a special government quarantine. There, he and the others start piecing together the inevitable. Using his knowledge, he begins predicting the events that unfold. Together he and his group plan and then implement a long term survival plan. If the world is going to end, they will survive. TORN is a fast paced, scientific, character driven and sometimes comical novel.
In a ‘docu-drama’ fictional style, it follows the tragic events that unleash upon the earth and the attempts by Darius and the others to defy the odds as they strive to survive man’s extinction.
**From the Author: True Story —
Not long ago on a summer day, my daughter raced into the kitchen to tell me about a shoe covered in ants on the sidewalk. Curious, I walked outside to see this and when I poured a bucket of water on the–what I believed to be–shoe, I discovered it wasn’t a shoe, but a mound of ants. Thick, dark, moving, freaky. What were they eating? We retrieved the garden hose and blasted the mound. From the sidewalk, poured multitudes of ants and they kept coming. A river of insects rolled down the sidewalk. What you read in the opening of the book, the lifting of the sidewalk, the accidental burning of the street, the ant colony extending feet deep … to the closing of the street … all true events. Various government agencies, including the CDC, were oddly present for two weeks during this event.
The media cap and their ‘burying’ of this true phenomenon prompted me to research. It was my research into ‘why’ this happened that inspired me to write this book.**
I’ll Cry Alone:
Ignorance breeds confidence. What you don’t know won’t hurt you. What you don’t fear… will kill you. The unthinkable has happened. We are at war. Across a crippled America struggling to rebuild in the after effects of what has happened, one woman faces a different battle. Separated from her family in the midst of a violent war upon American soil, she returns home to find her husband has died, her mother has been murdered and her children are gone. Through the chaotic torn country, with limited means of resources and communication, she begins a search. A search she will not give up no matter what the cost until she is reunited with her children or finds a painful truth in what has become of them.
When the Ashes Fall:
When the unthinkable happens, not everyone is ready. Not everyone knows what to do. Lacking any survival knowledge, she finds herself in the shelter of the city’s Liberty Tunnels with a group of strangers, none of which know much more than she does. The odds are against them. Panic, hunger, and sickness are rampant. The tunnels increasingly become more dangerous. With limited skills, Abby must pull it together, not only get her and the girls out of the tunnel shelter, but to survive long enough to make it home one last time.
